THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Nov. 17, 1904. 



one frame of brood, bees, and a queen 

 from a strong- colony, from which I 

 intended to make my increase. With 

 this help it built up strong in time for 

 basswood bloom. I devoted 8 colonies 

 to the production of extracted, 1 to 

 comb honey, and the other to increase. 

 I secured 1300 pounds of extracted 

 and 125 pounds of comb honey. For 

 increase I divided the one colony into 

 4 nuclei, retaining some bees for the 

 old hive. My old queens were all 

 clipped, and all swarms returned to 

 their own hives with but little trouble. 

 The first swarm came out June IS, and 

 by July S the swarming was over ex- 

 cept in the case of the one weak colony. 



I found the Porter bee-escape quite a 

 help with some colonies, which would 

 nearly all be out of the supers 24 hours 

 after the bee-escape was put in place, 

 while in case of others there would be 

 several thousand bees in the supers 48 

 hours after placing escapes. 



My bees were very cross, sometimes 

 literally driving me out of the yard. 

 But after getting a Jumbo Corneil 

 smoker I fared better. My queens live 

 only one year. They are all super- 

 seded at swarming-time, or about the 

 close of the honey-flow. This gives 

 me young queens which fill the hives 

 with bees for winter. 



I would not be without the American

Good Honey Crop— Hives. 



I commenced the season with 39 colo- 

 nies, and increased to 70 by natural 

 swarming. I did not get much white 

 clover or basswood honey on account 

 of too much rain and cold nights. But 

 a good flow of fall honey commenced 

 Aug. 8, and lasted till Oct. 22, or till 

 the bloom was completely gone. 



I had 3 colonies that did not swarm 

 that stored 180 pounds each. I had 

 3500 sections and 1200 pounds of box
